The War between the Devil Armies and Yue Armies (3)

“Fellow Daoist Jing Zhuo does not need to be so formal, with the arch-enemy at hand, now is not the time to chat…” Ning Fan helped Jing Zhuo up, his gaze swept upon Tian Yizi.As for Purple Yin’s ships that had gotten far away, Ning Fan had no interest in them, as Nan Gong had brought men to chase after it. The real threat that he was most worried was the one inside the black coffin!“Arch-enemy?”Not just Jing Zhuo, Gui Qiaozi, even the other Gold Core backups, exclaimed.Extreme Yin Gate was annihilated, leaving only the Heavenly Dao Sect, Tian Yizi and a few Heavenly Dao cultivators, though they weren’t easy to deal with, they shouldn’t be considered as the arch enemy.They belittled the Heavenly Dao Sect too much.As though authenticating Ning Fan’s words, Tian Yizi held a compass, his gaze pierced blazingly towards Ning Fan’s direction.The compass spun more violently as it got closer to Ning Fan. As of this moment, Tian Yizi faced the sky and laughed brazenly in a coarse and deep voice, which didn’t fit the current situation.“It’s the ancient corpse! So it’s in your possession! Excellent! This will save me the trouble of searching for it! The corpse IS MINE! Hand over the corpse and I will give you a swift end! As for the others, THEY SHALL BECOME MY NEW REFINED CORPSES!”Tian Yizi retracted the compass, stood with his hands behind his back and unleashed a wave of overbearing pressure. This pressure amounted to only 30% from its true body, however, it was only a shred weaker than Jing Zhuo’s, and was stronger than Gui Qiaozi’s by a margin.Under this pressure, everyone in Ning city gasped in surprise, Tian Yizi’s pressure was indeed abnormal, but not as tyrannical as Old Ancestor Jing Zhuo, so he must be overly audacious to declare bathing this place with blood with the experts here!Jing Zhuo coldly harrumphed and stepped forward. His aura climbed higher with each step he took. His magical force had reached Nascent Soul. Although his aura had yet to reach the Nascent Soul realm, he was a lot more powerful compared to ordinary old ancestors.People who were near to Jing Zhuo, including Bai Feiteng, were suffocated by the pressure he emitted, but when it reached Tian Yizi, it felt like a wind blowing harmlessly across his face, which was later followed by a sneer.“If your only reliance is this False Nascent, then I have to regretfully announce that he cannot save you all!”Tian Yizi sneered and performed an incantation gesture. The four Harmonious Spirit zombies near him started to decay, then burst into blood mist. Corpse qi and blood mist, rolled towards Tian Yizi, and immediately his qi increased, gradually surpassing Jing Zhuo’s, reaching the early Nascent Soul realm.At this moment, a gale swept across the sky. His qi had turned the spiritual force of the five elements and the clouds in the sky chaotic!The combat intent of Bu Kuangfen had gradually diminished, and was immediately replaced with fear. Tian Yizi’s Qi was even much stronger than his sect’s old ancestor! Despite being a Gold Core expert, he couldn’t help but feel helpless. Upon hearing what Tian Yizi had said and knowing that Jing Zhuo was only at the False Nascent realm, each old monster looked doubtfully at Jing Zhuo, waiting for an explanation.“Yes, due to some circumstances, I am still not a true Nascent Soul cultivator…”. With him being situated at the center of Tian Yizi’s Qi, cold sweat slowly seeped out of Jing Zhuo’s forehead. Although feeling not comfortable, it wasn’t enough to freeze him.His words had splashed on everyone’s heart like a bucket of cold water, however.The person they relied on, Old Ancestor Jing Zhuo… was just a False Nascent cultivator… and Tian Yizi’s Qi was even much stronger compared to Jing Zhuo’s…Could it be that this so called first Nascent Soul expert of Yue Country hadn’t  broken through the Nascent Soul realm?!Could it be that Tian Yizi who looked to be at a disadvantage was the true Nascent Soul cultivator?!Each and every cultivator’s eyes started to show fear towards Tian Yizi. A Nascent Soul cultivator was powerful enough to level a low ranked Cultivation Country to the ground. Even with Jing Zhuo who was a False Nascent cultivator in their presence, they might not stand a chance against Tian Yizi… They were afraid that there would be danger today.Tian Yizi laughed coldly, everyone’s fear couldn’t help but arouse his disdain. “This is just half of my power, now, behold the 70% pressure!”Tian Yizi once again performed an incantation gesture, the eight Gold Core elders behind him decayed and burst into blood mist.After absorbing the blood mist, Tian Yizi’s Qi rose once more, almost reaching the peak of early Nascent Soul realm!With 70% pressure gushing out, people like Bai Yunteng and Yan Bai, couldn’t help but feel the air thinning, their magical force churned. Above Ning City, except for Jing Zhuo, Gui Qiaozi and Ning Fan, no one was able to resist this overwhelming pressure! Blood light shone from Tian Yi Zi’s vertical eye, Bu Kuangyan and three other Gold Core elders of Fire Cloud Sect felt psychologically affected, as if they had been invaded by Heart Devils!“I’m afraid that he has already reached the level of peak-early Nascent Soul realm?! And this is just 70% of it, if he released all his power…” Even Jing Zhuo had changed his expression dramatically for the first time. His defence against Tian Yizi’s pressure slowly crumbled.It was extremely weird, because not even Nascent Souls had such a pressure… unless, Tian Yizi secretly used an illusion technique when he unleashed his pressure?!For an instant, Jing Zhuo and Gui Qiaozi looked at each other, both caught a clue from each other’s eyes.They nodded at the same time, they then roared and cast out all their magical force, trying to break the illusory technique.Their joint magical force was vast, and was on a par with an ordinary early Nascent Soul cultivator.The only method to break an illusion technique that one had no knowledge of was with incredible magical force. Although their method was correct, their joint magical force was still weaker than Tian Yizi’s, hence they failed to uncover the illusion technique.They could only make the air surrounding them flicker with red strings that lasted only for an instant.Those red strings were the origin of the illusion. But having a clue was not enough as they still could not break it, and instead, due to the aggressive use of their magical force, they had enabled those red strings to invade their bodies, which forced their mental state to go haywireBoth Gui Qiaozi and Jing Zhuo were shocked. What kind of foul energy these blood strings have that it could invade the two of them who had cultivated their mental state for thousands of years?!“What illusion is this…? When did he execute such a technique?!”The both of them could not comprehend Tian Yizi’s method, but Ning Fan understood it well. The blood strings that emerged just now confirmed Ning Fan’s hypothesis on the mystery of this technique.It was blood red because there was evil sense sent out by the Third Corpse Pupil. It was extremely invasive and could enthral people’s mind!The shape of the string was the power of the spirit sense. It was exploiting the invisibility of the spirit sense to mask the evil sense! This was the origin of the Third Corpse Pupil Technique!It was the spirit sense… and even if it was the spirit sense, it couldn’t scare Ning Fan!“You, enough!”The star on his glabella shone, the Separation Slayer that was refined in his glabella immediately turned into a starlight and flew forward, cutting whatever that stood in its way, annihilating the surrounding hidden energy of spirit sense.Pupil Technique was an eye expression, and that expression in the eye was a type of spirit sense. If it was the offensive-type Pupil Technique, whoever that was caught by the eyes would find it very difficult to break the spell. However, this was an illusion technique, and was a Joint Illusion Technique. Once a clue was found, breaking it wouldn’t be as difficult!A few slashes had severed all the spirit sense blood strings. Ning Fan’s gaze shone sharply. He reversely gripped the Separation Slayer, turned into the icy rainbow and stormed straight towards Tian Yizi.It seemed like no one was able to break Tian Yizi’s illusion technique except him, hence he was the only one qualified to fight against Tian Yizi.Tian Yizi, who had the Corpse Devil Vein, had actually refined the rare Third Corpse Pupil. He could even go toe-to-toe against an intermediate Nascent Soul during his pinnacle state!“Requesting both seniors, fellow daoists, to assist me on defending the city, I shall face him alone! ”Hearing Ning Fan’s request, both Jing Zhuo and Gui Qiaozi retreated back above the Ning City wall with lingering fear… the illusion technique was just too horrifying, which caused them to become extremely vigilant!Without a doubt, it seemed like there was only Ning Fan who could fight against Tian Yizi today.“That is a Nascent Soul old monster, would Ning Fan be victorious?” Bai Feiteng said in an unconvinced tone, as if he had forgotten the gap between him and Ning Fan.“If he does not come out victorious in this battle, not just Ning City, but also the whole Yue Country would face devastation… if I am not wrong, Tian Yizi is just a refined corpse. Its true identity could only be one person…” Gui Qiaozi said with a serious tone.“Who is that person?” Young cultivators like Bu Kuangfen did not know about such secrets, but when the old monsters who had lived thousands of years heard what Gui Qiaozi said, their countenance changed abruptly.“The corpse devil who massacred seven low ranked Cultivation Countries single-handedly two thousand years ago?!” At this moment, Bai Feiteng could no longer stay calm.The cultivators who were observing from a hundred li* away had their expression dramatically changed, as if they had received an unbelievably terrifying news. Previously, they did not understand why Zhong Xuanzi who was an old ancestor of Great Void Sect would run away immediately after seeing Tian Yizi. Now, it turned out that he must have seen through Tian Yizi’s background.Corpse devil… Two thousand years ago, numerous top ranked sects had records of this madman! He was the ruthless person who made many Nascent Soul old ancestors from mid-ranked Cultivation Country suffer greatly!That person’s physique could shatter magical treasures, and it was said that he was a master of corpse refinement, and had thousands of Harmonious Spirit refined corpses in his possession.“When thousands of corpses were unleashed, all Cultivation Countries would fall”, most sects’ had such statement in their records, but none had met the author of this statement, hence they’re unable to imagine the terror of it!“Immemorial evil vein! The previous descendant of the Corpse Demon Vein was still alive?!”“Return to the sect immediately, notify all sects of Yue Country that the corpse devil descendant has entered Yue!”…Tian Yizi focused his eyes. He had activated 70% of the pressure, however he was still unable to affect Ning Fan’s mental state.In the meantime, he secretly activated his Third Corpse Pupil to unleash the illusion technique, but was cut down by a sword shadow of Ning Fan.The shred of power of the immemorial star within the Starlight Sword Shadow made Tian Yizi’s eye blaze with excitement.“Immemorial divine weapon!? I knew you are an immemorial evil vein holder, I had no idea that you had an immemorial divine weapons too, however… but from today onwards, your immemorial divine weapon is mine!”“Really? Then we shall see if you have what it takes to handle it! Giant Sword Mode!”Ning Fan flicked his wrist. Then, the Starlight Flying Sword that was covered in a brilliant light turned into a heavy, seven-feet-long sword. A vague rumble of thunder was produced with just a casual swing.Ning Fan’s body expanded twice its original size after he unleashed the Eighteen-Meter Body body refining art. As the icy rainbow closed in, the enormous sword was slashed at Tian Yizi!Previously, he had experienced the tyrannical strength of Tian Yizi’s physique. Thus, this time, he wouldn’t hold back.“*Gasp!* This sword has two forms? Why wasn’t it mentioned in the “Corpse Devil Record”?!” Tian Yizi seemed both excited yet cautious. The “Corpse Devil Record” that he mentioned was where he acquired the corpse devil inheritance in the past. It differed from the inheritance of Ancient Chaos’ memories. Despite that, he was deemed to have acquired the inheritance from the previous generations.Tian Yizi put down the black coffin without hesitation and executed a body refining technique. His body grew until it reached 30 meters in height. Clearly, his body refining technique was much more superior to Ning Fan’s Eighteen-Meter BodyNing Fan who looked gigantic earlier looked like a dwarf in front of Tian Yizi now. His height was only as tall as Tian Yizi’s calf.After turning into a giant, Tian Yizi became so audacious that he took Ning Fan’s enormous sword slash bare-handed.The Eighteen-Meter Ning Fan had the strength of at least ten thousand jin, but when the palm and the enormous sword connected, Ning Fan’s blood and qi welled up as his physical strength was weaker than Tian Yizi by more than a margin.It wasn’t because Tian Yizi’s Body Refining Realm was more superior to Ning Fan. It was just that his mastery of the Body Refining Technique was much greater than Ning Fan.Actually, Tian Yizi felt uncomfortable after forcefully taking on the sword slash. Both of his feet plunged deep into the gold and metal floor of the ship, and his wrist hurt so much that it could snap any moment.“This child has such a powerful Body Refining Realm. This old man lacks one more step to break through to the Silver Bone Realm, but this brat’s Silver Bone seems so much more powerful than the average… is it because he has condensed the star of fiendgod?”Tian Yizi’s eyes showed a hidden shred of jealousy. He, who was a descendant  of a Fiendgod, was rarely jealous of anyone. Ning Fan was considered the first on his list.Luckily the “Colossal Bone Secret Art” he cultivated was an unusual Body Refining Technique. It was a Nascent Realm, Low Grade Body Refining Technique robbed from a Nascent Soul old monster of some mid-ranked Cultivation Country.Using the “Colossal Bone Secret Art” to turn into a giant naturally couldn’t be compared to the giant experts like the Bone Sovereign, but compared to Ning Fan’s puny technique—his body refining technique was definitely more superior.“What a pity! Within the entire Ning City, there’s only you who are able to resist my illusion technique, but you couldn’t even take on a single palm strike of mine…” Tian Yizi smiled disdainfully.“Is that so?! Imperial Thunder!” At this moment, the starlight shone in Ning Fan’s gabella. All of a sudden, thunderclap rumbled in the sunny sky unceasingly!A lightning flashed above the enormous sword. Tian Yizi was shocked, and his palm was sliced off by the enormous word.No blood could be seen and Tian Yizi’s expression was without a shred of pain, his gaze looked empty for the first time, however.On the other side, the lid of the black coffin flew open, a vicissitude aura poured out of the coffin.“Good, very good! You aren’t weak to be able to hurt this refined corpse, but you’re still no match for me! Even if you have broken through to the Gold Core realm, you are still not my opponent, unless you are a Nascent Soul!”A dark shadow flashed out of the coffin. It was a decayed palm that struck upon the enormous sword; instantly, an unspeakable force was channeled through the sword. Ning Fan felt a tremble in his chest, coughed up mouthfuls of blood and his gaze turned grim!That was Tian Yizi’s true body, a half-step corpse devil who was near the borderline of the second transformation. Ning Fan found it hard to take on the single palm strike even with his Silver Bone Body.As a matter of fact, the thing that Ning Fan’s physique was unable to resist the most was the magical force that came from the palm strike… the vast magical power that coursed through the sword almost shattered the immortal veins in his arm.In the Cauldron Ring, how powerful was that true corpse devil?!Ning Fan’s expression was icy cold, but immediately after that, he wiped off the traces of blood and his eyes brightened.Indistinctly, he could feel a great qi from far a distance flying towards him from the direction of Sinister Sparrow Sect!Apart fromTian Yizi, Ning Fan, too, also had his true body!li* – half a kilometerjin* – half a kilogram
